Former Democratic congresswoman and conservative-media pundit Tulsi Gabbard gave a guest lecture to students at the Army's psychological warfare school last week on several topics, including disinformation, Military.com has learned.

Gabbard, who has long been criticized by members of both major political parties for peddling pro-Russian talking points including disinformation, was acting in her role as a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve. She also discussed psychological operations more broadly, including how to improve lawmakers' understanding of it, according to internal 1st Special Forces Command communications reviewed by Military.com.

On Thursday, Gabbard was speaking at an event at the John F. Kennedy Auditorium at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, discussing social media's impact on democracy, information warfare and disinformation, for students at the Army's 43-week psychological warfare school. Two soldiers who were there said she briefly expressed concerns over disinformation polluting American discourse and the need to get U.S. society back to a place "where people trust one another." No phones were allowed in the briefing.

“LTC Gabbard spoke about her personal experiences and perspectives as a Civil Affairs Officer in the Army Special Operations community and her understanding of strategic level policy making. It was not about any one specific topic,” Maj. Rick Dickson, a spokesperson for the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School told Military.com in a statement. “There was a Q&A period after her remarks where students asked many different questions on a wide variety of topics.”
